Often because we know how badly things can go wrong with so many components we start at the end of the app instead of the beginning.
Similar to how tech support always asks of you rebooted. We often don’t confirm basic connectivity issues.

When it is the cause of a problem it’s not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue
